Last week the city saved someone's life for the first time using Narcan. Heroin has become an epidemic in the United States, as well as throughout Cuyahoga County. Over the last week, the City of North Olmsted had three suspected overdoses with one save and two deaths. This is occurring throughout the country, and no city is safe from the effects of heroin.
